April 2, 1993 ( 4/2/93 : 4/2/1993
) - Nassau Coliseum - Uniondale, New York ( NY ) : 1993 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Spring Tour '93 ! : Amazing ! " Serpent Dragon !! " Art Design ! : Very-Rare !!
Grateful Dead Fans !!!  Wow ... what a Stunning ! Serpent Dragon !! art design on this G.D. Pass - and indeed ... for New York !  At the G.D. Long Island Home-Away-From-Home ! ... the Nassau Coliseum !!!  This is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the '93 Spring Tour Show at the Nassau Coliseum - in Uniondale, New York ( NY ) of April 2, 1993 !  The ' Middle ' 3rd Night - of a 5-Night Grateful Dead stand - inside the Proud Home of the New York Islanders !  Awesome ...  Check out the photos on this one, and really - what you will see is one of the Strongest ! & Coolest !! Grateful Dead Backstage Pass designs of the Late-'80's & Early-'90's !!  The shiny tan satin on this Pass truly serves as a Stellar ! Background for this nothing-short of Amazing ! " Serpent Dragon ! " design, which shows its dark design-lines Beautifully ! with the color-contrast offered.  I believe this Killer ! Pass design debuted in the Late-'80's, with the 10/26/89 Miami Arena version coming directly to my mind - with that one, being a different color variation, in just black & white.  But this one, with the color-shininess ... just radiates way-nicely !  Sort of a Fancy-Dragon here, if I may.  Though, at the same time - I'm not sure this Dragon would dig being called ' Fancy ' - as he Might As Well prefer ... ' Mean ' !!!  Or, maybe better yet ... just ' Strong & Wise ' !!!  But, one thing I can say ... I don't know if this would have made the best Pass design just 24-hours prior, as that Nassau Show was for the April Fools 1993 Celebration !!!  You know ... the one where Phil dressed up as " Barney " the Dinosaur - and the Band got sued !?!  Now that's ! a pure-classic ... I mean Whoa ?!? Corporate America - have you ever heard of Free-Advertising !?!  I'll never forget that one, for certain ... Ha !  Wow ... I will certainly say though - this little period here was yet Another ! seriously-impressive resurgence for the the Good Ol' Grateful Dead !!?!  In fact, it really was right around this time ( Spring Tour '93 ), that they really began a solid & consistent playing-live hot streak - that arguably continued all the way through Winter Tour '94 ( February in Oakland !! ) - and, I suppose you could also argue that this impressiveness really continued all the way into both the Spring & Summer '94 Tours - but, as most could agree ... there was certainly some hit & obviously some miss too.  But, on a " Good Night " in this Era?  Whoa !!!  And, as we all know ... the Band just Always ! tried to deliver the hot & heavy goods - when in New York !  No matter where, may it be at Knickerbocker - Giants - M.S.G. - Nassau - I mean you name it ... as there sure-were some high standards from the Way-Loyal ! G.D. Fans - and the Band ... well, they totally knew-it !  Personally, I think this Spring Tour '93 run was kind of the beginning of things rolling downhill again - and, I mean downhill in a nice & easy way.  Versus up-hill, which - I personally equate to trying to have 2 Keys players in a band.  It may work with some bands ?  But, with the G.D. - you've already got 2 Killer Drummers - Bobby Ace - Phil on Lead-( Bass )-Guitar ... and, that other guy too - who, I personally-consider to be the " Real " King of Rock & Roll !!!  And yep, even in '93.  Ha !  And, as far as this 5-Night Nassau run goes ?  Well, you could argue ( pretty-easily ? ) that this 4/2/93 Show was indeed the Hottest !  I mean hey, even though it's just on ' Paper ' ... let's put it this way -- Set I ' Opener ' = Help > Slip ! > Franklin's !!! ... and, as for the Set II ' Opener ' ? = Scarlet > Fire !!!  Dang ... Blammo !  Digital-Dead ! just bringing the Heat ! in the Good Ol' Nassau Coliseum !!!  A pretty respectable Terrapin ! too right in the thick of things too ... Very-Nice !!
Yeah, so - I must be sincere here ... as I pretty much think that " Everything ! " Rocks about this 4/2/93 Backstage Pass ... with a Dead Show that's tough to beat - and a Pass design on this one that really cannot-be-beat !  Enjoy this serious
-piece of ' both ' Grateful Dead ! & Rock 'n Roll ! History !!! in Dungeon & Dragons style - for '93 Nassau / in New York ! style ...
just Fantastic !! -- " The Serpent Dragon !!! ".  Enjoy !!!!!

Grateful Dead Backstage Passes : 1995 : Marvel Comics !  " Galactus !! " & " The Skrulls !!! " : '95 Summer Tour ! : Galactus TM / The Skrulls TM & (c) Marvel Comics / 1995 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : June 27, 1995 ( 6/27/95 : 6/27/1995 ) & June 28, 1995 ( 6/28/95 : 6/28/1995 ) - The Palace at Auburn Hills - Auburn, Michigan ( MI ) : Very-Rare !!!
T
he Grateful Dead ! meets Marvel Comics !! ... " Galactus !! " & " The Skrulls !!! " -- The Amazing ! 6/27/95 & 6/28/95 G.D. Backstage Passes from the Band's Last/Final Concerts ' Ever ! ' - in " The~Mit !!! " ... Michigan !!!!
Grateful Dead Fans !! - Dead Fans from perhaps the Mid-West ! - and of course too ... " Grateful-Michiganders !!! ".  As offered here are the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Passes ( sticker-patches / satins ) - the ' Complete ! ' 2-Show Pass Set !! - for the '95 Summer Tour Michigan Shows ! at The Palace - in Auburn Hills, Michigan on June 27th & 28th 1995 ( 6/27/1995 & 6/28/1995 ).  The ' Last & Final ! ' Grateful Dead Concerts " Ever !! " in the Grate ! State of Michigan !!!  And, as for design on this Very-Cool ! G.D. Backstage Pass ... none other than the Marvel Comics " Galactus !! " & " The Skrulls !!! ".  And, at least to my eye ... these are indeed two of the Coolest ! G.D./Marvel Passes Ever-Made ! - of All-Time !!  And keep in mind too G.D. & Marvel Comics Fans - as these Amazing ! Ultra-Colorful ! Passes were only featured in " 1995 " - which did end up being the ' Last & Final ' Touring-Year of The Grateful Dead !  And, if you're a Fan of Marvel Comics ( & Stan Lee ! ) ... well then who's really any cooler than ' Galactus ! ' & ' The Skrulls !! ' ? ... maybe only " The Grateful Dead !!! " - Ha !  I must say that in my wildest dreams, I never thought we'd ever see the faces of the Galactus ! ( on the 6/27/95 Pass ! ) & The Skrulls ! ( on the 6/28/95 Pass ! ) right-on Grateful Dead Backstage Passes !?! ... but oh how so-fitting though, right ?  Right-on !!  " Galactus ! " was a Top-Notch " Super-Villain !! " for most-certain.  As in fact, his Very 1st Debut was in " The Fantastic Four " Series ... in 1966 !  So this would be like 30-years after his initial-creation by the Marvel Comics Illustrators - that he makes his way to a Grateful Dead Backstage Pass !!  Pretty darn cool ... I mean talk about some serious ' Super-Villain ' Shelf-Life !!  Come to think of it too, this would actually make " Galactus ! " & " The Grateful Dead ! " just about the exact same age !!?!  Give a year though, I suppose.  I don't know my fellow Fans, but am I correct in saying that part of the Show that Galactus likes the very best, might just be ... " Space !!!? " ( Ha ! ).  That, and the 6/27/95 ' Standing On The Moon !! ' - Absolutely.  I'd think so, as he's a Smooth-Villain ! indeed.  And ... it's not too often either that you get the Dragons & Demons, or Space Demons ? ... much less " The Skrulls !!! " - on a Rock & Roll ! - Grateful Dead !! Backstage Pass !!!  As " The Skrulls " made their Very 1st Marvel ' Debut ' in Fantastic-Four # 2 - way-back in 1962 !  Famous for things such as attempting to " Sabotage ! " America's Space Program !!  Wait, well then that actually makes these " Skrulls " quite different then the Grateful Dead - because on a Good-Night ? ... the Grateful Dead would Gladly ! take You !! ... " Straight-To-The-Moon !!! " - Ha !!  Kind of just-like they did too at this 6/28/95 Michigan ( Palace ! ) Show !!  The 1st Set delivered kind of like a " What You Want To Hear ! ... at a Dead Show " type set - with Good Morning Little Schoolgirl ! - Loser - Black-Throated Wind - Tom Thumb Blues - Big Railroad Blues - and Music Never Stopped ! All !! getting delivered !!!  Cheers to That ! song-rotation ... I mean seriously !?!  And, as for Set II - I sure bet The Skrulls ! dug this one, because it was-indeed one of those G.D. " Take You ! to The Moon " 2nd Sets ! ... China > Rider !!! right out of the gate !  With a Big-League Estimated > Uncle John's ! ... then closing the Show with an Attics Of My Life !! > Good Lovin' !!!  And ... as for the Encore ?  Well, you can't really beat this one when it comes to a G.D. Cover tune ... Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds !!!  Wow ... What a Show ! the Boys delivered here for the " Motor-City ! " Dead Fan Faithful !!  I don't know, but ' both ' Galactus ! & the 5-Faces of these Skrulls ! look pretty-darn-pleased ( I mean ... as pleased as they can be ! ) on these G.D. Backstage Passes - as hey ... how couldn't they be ?!!  Just Gotta-Love these Grateful Dead-Meets-Marvel " Michigan-Dead ! " Passes !!! - some Really-Grate ! Ones - for most-certain ... Enjoy !!!!!
